Lefty's Gourmet Pizza

After a brewery excursion to the distant northern parts of Boulder, we found ourselves cold, hungry, and quickly approaching Covid curfew. One of the nearest places we could find open that had decent reviews and food we wanted to eat was Lefty's gourmet pizza. We found ourselves walking in here just a short drive later. They were due to close in about 45 minutes and it didn't look like table service was to be had. However, after asking nicely, the owner was only too glad to accommodate us, and a table was found for the three of us. While we were there, a couple other local people came in to pick up pizzas, but for the most part we had his full and undivided attention. I must say, it was one of the most entertaining dining experiences I have had in quite some time. Our discussion topics ranged from pizza making, to Astrophysics, to Kung Fu, to puns, and bad dad jokes. The pizza was excellent, and the total value experience with the owner was special indeed. We wound up ordering Craig's Cardiac Arrest. This is basically a meat lovers pizza with pepperoni, ham, sausage, and bacon. This was served on a nicely thin crust with a very zingytomato sauce. This combo is not typically my favorite, as even though I really like dead animal protein on my pizza, I also like a little more variety and not just meat on meat on meat action. But, my two carnivorous dining companions wolfed this pie down in no time. I savored my two pieces and washed it all down with a frosty Mexican Coca-Cola. I will definitely be back should I find myself in the area.

This one hurts to write because I loved Lefty's and it's sad to see someone treat Craig's loyal customers the way they did. Shortly before Craig's passing we bought a new gift card, it was something he pushed during the pandemic as a way to support them when they were cash strapped. Whoever took over is not honoring them and made up some BS about that paperwork being locked away where no one can get to it. That's just false, the employees would write on the certificates. They are legally obligated to do this and they should take care of Craig's loyal customer base but they refuse.

Out of business. Owner was killed in a bus/auto accident and the place has been sold.

Genuinely tasty like the real New York pizza. Professional and courteous service and staff. It's very aromatic when you enter the restaurant. Portion is large and price is reasonable.

Great take out pizza. Their dining area is quite small. Pizza was ready to go as estimated.

Love this place. Locally owned with great calzones and pizza. Nice people. Would highly recommend this place. This will be our go to place for calzones and pizza!

We just moved to the area and walked down for a Friday evening meal. The people were very friendly and the service was great. We ordered the Lefty Hefty, a Greek salad, and a Green Chili Tamale (yes, tamales at a pizza place). The ingredients used are fresh. The food was very satisfying. We're looking forward to many more visits.

Great pizzas! Friend,y service, ready when we got there. Totally recommend. Support your local restaurants!

Good pizza. Crazy expensive, $7.44 for a slice of peperoni pizza. Then they tip shame you when you go to pay. I carried my pizza to the table and returned the plate, what's the tip for? Also, it was 96 degrees when I went, no air conditioning. Had to eat outside in the heat. Come on man!​

So, I decided to give this pizza joint a try and nope.. can't say I wasn't disappointed. First glance I was a little hesitant because as you can see from the outside the lettering is falling off and such, plus it looks as though it could be someone's home. I wasn't sure where to park either so I parked across the street. Which, wasn't allowed but ‍. I ordered the Greek goddess 12' pizza. Prior to my arrival I browsed the menu online.. be aware there has been a price increase. It was so piping hot and fresh. I ordered for carry out. The service was quick and attentive and I will be returning soon. The taste of the of the pizza also was fresh and as I expected. I'm not a crust person but I actually devoured the crust as well. Definitely recommend.
